RD 4: Eels v Tigs - Game Day Thread

[Joshuatheeel]

What was the commentators reaction to the last try not being overruled?

Potentially not a try, but no evidence to overturn refs decision.

I think it was a try, but we should have had the ball down the other end from a Tigers knock on, additionally there was Shepard in that set that even one of the commentators called.

I think Arthur’s career is on the line, this half time chat will be make or break here. If we get smashed from here I’d sack him.

He is f**king clueless. The players are obviously not playing for him and whatever he did in the off season has not worked.

Recruitment, Lower grades all gone to shite , fitness - has all been substandard. Something is def wrong at the club

 

[Wally21]

Refs are awful, however this team has no heart. Everyone is waiting for someone else to do something. Norman/Moses are terrible Generals.

 

[Noise]

32% of the f**ken ball!! Can't win with that much ball!!

Browns dumb pass to Moses.
Kenny Edwards hitting a player high.
Will smith being incompetent under the high ball.
Our players jumping the gun with their line speed several times.
It is our fault we have given them so much ball.

 

[Oscarman]

What was the commentators reaction to the last try not being overruled?

So happy they all spunked themselves

 

[parra pete]

If we win this game then the Aussie team will beat South Africa in the 4th cricket test

Renshaw 202 no, Handscomb 153, Mitch Marsh 96..Biggest comeback since Lazarus picked up his bed and walked..

 

[Chipmunk]

That was never a tigers penalty for off side, Jennings was on the line in defence on the play when they knocked on

Jennings never got back onside. Clear penalty.

 

[Bazal]

Man some of you merkins will do anything to lay the boot into the club. Wastes of space

 

[TheParraboy]

As they say, you make your own luck. When the teams on fire the luck goes with them. Consequently, when they're playing like shit the luck goes against them.

Should we damper with the ball to stuff up their kicking game? Ours won’t be affected, totally shit either way

 

[ash411]

Moses attempted tackle on Naquiama was putrid. Never seen something so pathetic in first grade as that. Atleast Sandow put his body on line.

Until they outlawed shoulder charges, then he was a turnstile.

 

[Dibs]

Touching the corner post is irrelevant isn’t it? It’s the white line

No. The player can touch it the ball cant

Serious question.

All these rumours about division within the ranks etc. why did they only come out when we started losing? Why nothing before the start of the season or after the Knights trial????

We are a joke but it is funny how all the people in the know only whinge when things aren’t going their way?

 

[hindy111]

We've gifted the Tigers all their possession. They've earnt f**k all of it.

To be honest the Tigers have really got f**k all in attack and we've made them look like world beaters.

We look good when the possssion goes our way, but when it doesn't we just fall in a heap and fall apart. We cant expect to rely on trying to get 55% posession to win games.

We simply need to be better.

Mentally weak. When things dont go our way we are unable to be tough and regain momentum. Once we lost it we compound it. We seem unable to get into a grind.
Sorry but we cant keep blaming reffs. BA needs to either work put why we are getting less then 40% posession every game or replace him.It isnt just luck

 

[Eelementary]

Poor calls aren't costing us this game, but come on - forward passes not being called, high tackles that aren't actually high, knock-ons not being called, and an offside penalty against us after they gift us the ball...

Twenty five minutes before our first penalty...

We suck - we truly are an awful football team -, but this officiating is f**ked.

And Arthur will do nothing about it.

I don't think anyone is blaming the refs - we are putrid, and deserve to win the Spoon.

But the referees are so obviously biased, it's bordering on cheating.

It was smith and he should have caught it, as the commentators said if you are pushing up with the forwards you should be ready for the pass.

Yep smith has been poor and being offside is f**ken ridiculous, our players should know better!!

 

[Jake the snake]

We made Benji look like he’s bloody Thurston 10 years ago.

 

[hindmarshisgod]

Players are going backwards under Arthur.

He needs to go

 

[Kornstar]

The ball is dead when it touches the corner post. The player can do whatever he want to the corner post without it being out.

Well with the penalty count, plus the Moses knock on, the missed forward passes in the lead up to repeat sets.... You can't blame the refs for us missing tackles, that's correct. But you can blame them 100% for the Tigers having 9 more sets than us
